Back from Madrid and Tablescape

Hello sweet friends!Boy! This is the longest I've been away from you and bloggy; but I'm so happy to be back.We spent a whole month visiting our dear Alexandra, her husband and baby Maxima who is 18 months already !We went traveling to many places in gorgeous Spain and we had a fabulous time.One evening my daughter Alexandra hosted a dinner party for 14 guests, including two couples that were her cousins who went on business to Madrid.Of course I helped with the formal dining table with the setting for eight with their beautiful French china, "Raynaud Co.-Limoges, France" and our former "Ceramic Co. Monte Turi" china in her kitchen table for the remaining six guests.Here some pictures of the table and of us in Madrid.

Hubby and me somewhere in Spain, lol..

Our sweet darling Maxima at 18 months old. We miss her so much.

All of us in Spain. Of course daughter Alexandra with her family, live in Madrid.

Royal Albert - Old Country Roses three tier cake plate was Alejandro's gift for Mother's Day and DD Alex's plate to match.We spent MD's together in Spain and had a special and wonderful time.

Alexandra hosted a great dinner party for 14 guest, including two couples of first cousins that were in Madrid on business, so it was great.I took my mother's or her grandmother's hand crocheted tablecloth as a heirloom for Alexandra to keep and she used it for her dinner party, as the chargers have that cut out, lace look too.The china is "Raynaud-Limoges, France."

The place set in the formal dining dinner table was set up for 8. The kitchen table was set for 6.Alexandra placed name places with whatever she found because the guestswere very eclectic.

The dining set furniture is English beautiful and the chairs are with a lovely red toile.

The kitchen table was set up for six with Alexandra's own china we made for her back at our Ceramic Co.-Monte Turi.

What a wonderful time you must have had, Fabby. I don't think there is anything quite like the joy of visiting a daughter in her own home and seeing her carry on traditions of hospitality. Your wee Maxima is adorable!

Just like you, i have not posted much cause I have been traveling also. Seems like Alexandra inherited your tablescaping genes. The plates are beautiful and so lucky of her to get your mom's gorgeous crochet table cloth. I bet you miss your grandbaby. She is so adorable and is growing too fast.....Christine

So good to see you dear Fabby. I am sure you enjoyed every moment with your family and especially that beautiful grandgirl! They grown up too fast. What a lovely table. No doubt you had your hands in that. LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

My gorgeous followers! Please let me know so I can reciprocate and thank you properly.

About Me

I'm retired... now, this gives me time for decorating and tablescaping which are my passion...I also love to entertain at home and cook for my guests, they're usually friends and family. I love family heirlooms, as they always have a beautiful story to tell. I'm crazy about dogs, I had a pug for almost 13 years who died April-2010, I still miss him very much, specially around the Christmas Holidays, but, I'm also crazy about my grandgirls, Victoria 11 and Cayetana 8 1/2, from DD Sofia and they're my total joy. We are also expecting another baby girl from DD Alexandra. I love baking cookies with the girls and decorating them too, specially the Christmas ginger cookies. I adore my hubby for 40 years, we've been married since 1975 and he is the most wonderful, smart, lovable and handsome man, ever! I'm very,very blessed by the Lord, I owe HIM all I have received, the home I love and my lovely and dear family. Bless you my wonderful friends and thank you for letting me know you and come into your lovely homes. God bless you and yours.
